Good German
Good German | Joseph Kanon
Now a Major Motion PictureThe bestselling author of "Los Alamos" returns to 1945. Hitler has been defeated, and Berlin is divided into zones of occupation. Jake Geismar, an American correspondent who spent time in the city before the war, has returned to write about the Allied triumph while pursuing a more personal quest: his search for Lena, the married woman he left behind. When an American soldier's body is found in the Russian zone during the Potsdam Conference, Jake stumbles on the lead to a murder mystery. "The Good German" is a story of espionage and love, an extraordinary recreation of a city devastated by war, and a thriller that asks the most profound ethical questions in its exploration of the nature of justice, and what we mean by good and evil in times of peace and of war.

Mehso-so

Hard to read with this cutie around ❤️ This book was a bit cumbersome and I found it bogged down with too much dialogue and not enough description. It did however bring up the issue of Nazi scientists being brought to the states and whether or not they should have been pardoned for their crimes. Something to think about for sure, but honestly without more research and perhaps some firsthand knowledge I can‘t judge. More research required 😊

This book has a slow start, setting the scene, and painting a terrible picture of bombed out Berlin. The story is starting to pick up now 😊 I find the history of Germany fascinating and at times horrific. This book is making me want to do some research into WWII.

Up next “The Good German” by Joseph Kanon gifted to me along with 2 bags of other free used books (yay😁) for helping with a Canada Day book sale last year 😎 Apparently it‘s also been adapted into a movie 🙂
